The crazy part is that just looking at how people behave on Reddit and HN, I could easily see adults with the same outcome as Lord of the Flies. It also could be that children are mostly posting, however (since there is no age verification,

Is there proof they are cutting wages? If not, this is just hyperbole to stir up anger and clicks.

The GPDR makes it so small companies need to hire expensive lawyers to be compliant (and you still don't know for sure, based on the laws) How about fining individual developers with poor coding practices?

It doesn't make you a bad developer, it just stops novel and innovative ways of doing something, because the cheaper way is to just use what's free.

This is the future of code. I know plenty of 50-something developers out of work because they stuck to their old ways and the tech world left them behind.

If they are only taxed at an effective rate of 3%, there is something being taxed. I don't think people should be able to vote on massive tax increase laws, if it doesn't also increase their own taxes in some way.

Most companies aren't going to help their competitor. Bad actions from candidates have consequences. It's telling when you jump to 'ilegal behavor' yet think acting like a total unprofessional asshole by wasting everyone

When they apply a few years later, they will be. Burning bridges never works out in the long run.

Not really. They can easily try to apply for the same job (or a different position) Months later.

I seriously doubt you have any say in hiring anywhere. Nobody actually hiring would respond like this. ..and retraining? Lol Candidates that are a no show after many interviews should definitely be blacklisted for a set amount of time. The

When companies aren't doing well either, demanding more money will only result in bankrupt companies and out sourcing. It's probably the worst time to do it. I've only seen unions work well in the long-run with government job

The affordable care act doubled most people's insurance over night (This happened to me and almost everyone I know). Nobody wants to mention this, because it makes their side look bad. Until we can admit where there are problems, there
